I used to run Bridgestone Potenza S-02 Pole Positions, 205/45R16. That was a phenomenal tire with unflappable grip in any Philippine road condition (read: no snow or ice but lots of rain). But three things knocked it for me:
1) it's rather old...mine were made 2001, not sure if Bridgestone still makes 'em new
2) 180 treadwear
3) the noise...THE NOISE
One of them suffered sidewall damage due to a rim-bending incident with a runaway wheel chock.  Replaced them with Toyo Proxes 4s, same size...and yep, 300 treadwear |
yeah i guess you're right! especially considering my falken 912's (which are loud as hell now but were very nice when i first got them) are high performance all seasons and have a rating of 360. i'm sure the extra handling prowress with the yokos will be wonderful.
i think bridgestone made a replacement for those tires...though i could not tell you what it was.
i remember edge racing carried toyo proxes 4, and i loved the tread design...but i cant seem to find those tires anywhere! how long did/are they lasting you?
